SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 282,450, dated July 3:1, 1883. V .Applicationfiled December 27,1882. (Kc-model.)

To all whom it may concern).-

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN K. EMERSON, of Cleveland, in the county of Ouyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and spective of a horse-collar embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a view in perspective of a pair of hames such as forms a part of the device shown in Fig. 1.

A represents the collar, which may be made whole or in pieces, as desired. I

B represents a pair of hames, made preferably of metal, with suitable attachments such as a, a, a and a for attaching the traces and other portions of the harness, and

for holding the pair of hames together, and

for such other purposes as are necessary for attachments to the hames.

The collar is made by pressing papier-mach in a suitable mold, with the hames inside of the papier-mach, except the ends of the said attachments as arenecessary to project beyond the collar, as shown in Fig. 1, being in fact a combined collar and hame.

If the said attachments a, a, a and a or any of them, should be broken, these collars maybe used as ordinary collars are used, with hames on the outside of them. Therefore I prefer making a corrugation, as at c, on the outside of the collar, suitable for engaging ordi; nary hames, whether there are or are not hames inclosed in the collar.

outside of the casing of papier-mach, substantially as described, and for the purpose specified.

2. The combination, with a horse-collar.

made of papier-mach, of hames inclosed in said collar, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

3. A horse-collar of papier-mach,'inclosing hames, as described, and provided with a corrugationon'its outside, whereby detachable hames may be applied thereto, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I sign this specification, in the presence of two witnesses, this 22d day of December, 1882.
